It’s just over a year since local artist NV first came to everyone’s attention with debut single Open Your Eyes. That particular song – an instant favourite on the local airwaves - pretty much spelt out where NV was headed musically, its pop/rock crossover providing the perfect vehicle for her measured yet melodic vocal style. Subsequent single releases If I Could, No Regrets and the more recent Find Your Way all found similar favour with public and radio stations alike and, along with several public appearances, helped to strengthen NV’s popularity even further. With her brand new single No Stranger, NV reveals an entirely new approach to the style we had become accustomed to so far.

The new song is far more pop-orientated than anything she’s recorded to date, and while her vocal timbre remains very familiar, the added harmonies coupled with its lightweight but nimble arrangement give it an essential dance track feel. This dance inclination will also be a strong and crucial element on the forthcoming remix of (earlier single) If I Could, which is being produced by prominent local DJ Duncan F and will be released shortly. Meanwhile make a note of NV’s upcoming live performances, starting with an Unplugged set at St. James Cavalier on March 31, Live at Luxol on April 14 and The Alley on May 16.
